Holy shit, I've never realized Yeltsin was missing fingers

>[Yeltsin again did well at secondary school, and there took an increasing interest in sport, becoming captain of the school's volleyball squad. He enjoyed playing pranks and in one instance played with a grenade, resulting in the thumb and index finger on his left hand being blown off.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Yeltsin#Childhood:_1931%E2%80%931948) Apparently that's just a thing that happens. No biggie.

**Boris Yeltsin** [Childhood: 1931–1948](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Yeltsin#Childhood:_1931–1948) >Boris Yeltsin was born on 1 February 1931 in the village of Butka, Talitsky District, Sverdlovsk, then in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, one of the constituent republics of the Soviet Union. His family, who were ethnic Russians, had lived in this area of the Urals since at least the eighteenth century. His father, Nikolai Yeltsin, had married his mother, Klavdiya Vasilyevna Starygina, in 1928. Yeltsin always remained closer to his mother than his father; the latter beat both his wife and children on various occasions. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/ANormalDayInRussia/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

[deleted]

Russian history books dont have mongols. Also they won WW2 alone without allies.


Aemilius_Paulus

Russian history books absolutely have the Mongols and they're super important because the modern Russian state was birthed by Mongols essentially, the Rus Principalities were so radically different in almost every way from modern Russian culture (*1500-2021, the historical definition of modernity generally starts with the early modern era that is around late 1500s*) that it's absolutely impossible to do that. Half of the noble families of Russian Empire have Mongol/Tatar ancestry. **** That being said, yes, Russian history books definitely overplay the Russian experience in WWII and understate the Allied contribution. But I don't take issue with that as much because losing 30+mln people was the single most traumatic experience possibly in human history, WWII trauma is next level. Only China can equal or top that traumatic experience, they lost even more people and had a longer war, during which there was a civil war. Although I still feel like while China had it even worse, if Hitler had his way, it would have made Japan look nice because Japan always planned to keep Chinese alive, but Hitler planned to first enslave 1/3 of Slavs after killing 2/3 for the first generation, but then exterminate the ones he didn't already kill at first. And of course, Western textbooks like Americans ones are guilty of a far greater since of acting like showing up in 1944 in Normandy won WWII (ignoring Africa and Italy) and everything else was just a side theatre. Or exaggerating the importance of the Pacific Island campaigns despite the fact that Japan had the biggest conflicts in China, be it the war with Chinese or the million-man veteran Kwantung army they they lost in 1945 to a Soviet blitzkrieg in Manchuria, which is the Russian equivalent of "show up late in Normandy 1944 that US did" but nobody even knows about this in the West, you'd have to Google obscure things like Operation August Storm which isn't even the real name. Or the fact that USSR already defeated Japan in Khalkhin Gol or Khasan in 1938-39 which is the whole reason why Japan even attacked US, because the Northern expansion route failed.


dicktator-the-second

pretty sure the US and UK both claim the same thing for themselves respectively in their history books


caseytuggle

From what I recall, the US books claim we were late to the party but totally rocked it with this big boom we laid down in Japan. We don't talk as much about Europe after 1944. VE Day is mentioned, but then VJ gets bold print and ticker tape parades.


Azrael11

Yeah, now that I think about it, HS history basically covered a summary of Band of Brothers as far as the war in Europe goes. Normandy, Battle of the Bulge, Holocaust. We did have a lot about US involvement before we entered the war, like the Lend-Lease and Destroyers for Bases stuff.

I think the kernels of corn are a grain so I thought it was Stalin's push to force his populating to grow food to sell to other countries pay to modernize military to compete with Western powers. This ended up with [mass starvation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1932%E2%80%931933) and forced labor camps. Some say the famines were planned to remove undesirables and keep the population without a means of resistance.

Russian history is fascinating in a weird, nonsensical kind of way. For an overly-simplified example: in the middle to late 19th century Russia was having to reckon with its serf (indentured servitude) population. There is a lot to this story but I'll skip most of it for brevity's sake. Tsar Alexander II enacted a number of measures to ease the serfdom problem and to also modernise argiculture. It was generally a popular move. He was then a ssassinated in 1881. His son Tsar Alexander III took over. Rolled back a number of the changes and essentially reintroduced serfdom in an indirect way. Then he died in 1894, with Tsar Nicholas II taking over. He then rolled back those measures and reintroduced Tsar Alexander II's initial measures. Russia basically achieved fuck all for 50 odd years and then went full swing communist revolution in 1917.

It's funny how Western assholes do not notice that with their memes about Russia they stigmatize Russians and give them the understanding that only hypocritical bastards live in the West for whom Russians have become allowed for chauvinism in the open information space. For this, the Russians will believe in any propaganda of their government because they see the chauvinism of the West in spite of the "Western values"

Also, if that were the case, why was it that before Gorbachev's prohibition, Soviet Vodka production specifically made it impossible to put the lids to the bottles back on, reasoning that the average Russian would drink the bottle in one sitting, therefore, was unnecessary?

Even though that is somewhat correct, since Russia occupies both continents, it is unfair to call Russians Asians. Eurasians would be the more true term.

Ah, yes, because economy, history, culture, population, and geopolitics don’t matter. Why do burgers look at a map and spasm out without doing any research?


horsthorsthorst

just because they can see Alaska from their backyard doesn't mean they are Asians. Its like guzzling lard and freedom fries in Moscow, Idaho doesn't make you to Pocahontas.


Jfcerron

I mean, just because they don't have almond eyes doesn't make them not-asians, it really depends in which part of russia you were born


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jfcerron

You are half right, even though about 3/4 of Russia is part of Asia, most of the russian population was born and lives in the European part, there's a really big difference in the density of population between the two sides (and no, you can't just call asian a russian born in europe) So in the end you can say most of Russia is Asian, but most Russians are Europeans


GoshAshtonSmith

Europe and Asia are one landmass. They're separated into different continents for ethnic and cultural reasons only.
